Atlanta defeated Dallas, 111-107, and the result will stand after the league rejected the Mavericks' plea to replay the final 9.7 seconds. "The Replay Center Official ruled that Collins' goal should be scored because he was in the act of shooting at the time the goaltending call was made," the NBA said in its statement."Dallas contends that the officials misapplied the playing rules by allowing the basket.

"However, it is well-established by prior NBA protest decisions that a factual determination by game officials – including replay officials – that is shown in a post-game review to be incorrect is not a misapplication of the playing rules," the NBA ruled. "They literally blew the whistle that it was a goaltend. There was a putback after the whistle. After review they said no goaltend but count the basket? WTF is that? That's NBA officiating."
